Bobby Darin - Ace In The Hole Lyrics
[Johnny:]
This town is full of guys
who think they're mighty wise
just because they know a thing or two.
You'll meet them night and day
strollin' up and down Broadway
telling of the wonders they can do.
[Johnny:]
Oh, sing it, Bobby boy!
[Bobby:]
I just did!
There's con men and there's boosters.
[Bobby:]
There's card sharks and crapshooters.
[Johnny:]
They congregate around the Metropole.
[Bobby:]
If I knew what that meant I would agree with him.
They wear flashy ties and collars.
[Johnny:]
Yes, but where do they get there dollars?
[Both:]
They all have got an ace down in the hole.
[Johnny:]
Yes, and some of them write
to the old folks for coin
and that is their ace in the hole.
[Bobby:]
And others have friends on the old Tenderloin
that's their old ace in the hole.
[Johnny:]
Why, they'll tell you of trips
that they're going to make
from Florida
to the North Pole.
[Bobby:]
The fact is their name would be mud
just like a chum playin' stud.
[Both:]
If they lost that old ace in the hole.
[Johnny:]
Oh, yes, now, some of them write
you'll find a lot of them write to the
[Bobby:]
Just a minute, just a minute, let the man play his piano solo.
[Johnny:]
But, I want to sing tenor!
[Bobby:]
I don't really care if you sing ten or twenty minutes, after he's through playin' piano.
[Johnny:]
Listen too 'em, I think I make it better than he does.
[Bobby:]
Well, that's the nastiest remark I've ever heard.
[Both:]
Listen now, if you don't like the way I sing, why don't you sing
I think...
Sing Melancholy Baby! Sing something!
[Bobby:]
Why they tell you of the trips
they're gonna make
over to Florida
all the way up to the North Pole.
[Johnny:]
Oh, it's sad, sad.
[Bobby:]
Volare!!
[Johnny:]
But, their names would be mud.
[Bobby:]
Like a chump playin' stud.
[Both:]
If they lost
that old ace
ace in the hole.
[Bobby:]
Have another drink.

Bobby Darin Ace In The Hole Comments
A must-have for the New Vegas custom soundtrack :)
Fantastic
I love the way Bobby swings this song as no one else can, just fantastic!! Yes the duet is great with Johnny Mercer too. What ever he did was done to perfection.
Darin also did this in duet with Johnny Mercer on their Two of a Kind CD.
Great interpretation, as always.
